Stephanie & James’ Snow White meets Americana retro wedding

A float-y princess gown, some retro stylings, a few train-lover photos, and much much adorableness abounds at this Aussie wedding. We also love the carriage ride, the DIY bits an bobs, and of course, the rainbow sprinkle cake! Add in the blended cultural group dance and impromptu “stair-tripping” game, and you’re in for an easy-going and rad time for all (even if they had to smoosh 130 people into a ceremony space meant for 50!).

Plus, the bride shares some very handy advice if you’re planning on rocking a corset. Oh, and you’ll love the bride’s hilarious way of “proposing.” It worked!
